We had an amazing time at Wild Planet! The surroundings are absolutely stunning, the tea plantation is beautiful and beyond that lies thick jungle in every direction. The way into the resort is really beautiful and the roads are fine, once you reach the parking lot you'll be picked up and taken into the property through the jungle on a 4x4. They also have special lodging at the parking lot for drivers to stay. If you're coming from the Bangalore/Mysore direction you will drive through the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve. If you go early in the morning you stand a good chance of seeing wild elephants or even tigers! We stayed at one of the valley view cabins, and found it comfortable and well equipped. It can get really hot inside during the day, but the A/C is good quality and can easily take care of it. The view from the balcony was incredible, I particularly liked sitting outside in the early morning and watching the mist slowly clear from the valley. The main lobby and restaurant are nicely decorated and the food buffet is quite good. It's almost all indian food and while it does vary day to day a bit it tends to be the same dishes. It could get monotonous after a while, but for a few days it's perfect. All members of the staff were kind to us and we felt really welcome. As far as activities go, we enjoyed the nature walks the most. Their guides are really knowledgeable and we saw all sorts of interesting wildlife and plants. The bird watching walk was a highlight for us. A couple other things to note: There is no mobile signal or WiFi anywhere except at the lobby/restaurant and the luxury cabins. I found this quite refreshing and it goes well with the general vibe of the place. Also, once it gets dark you're not allowed to walk around the property on your own (apparently snakes can be a problem) so you need to call reception and get a short jeep ride from the valley view cabins to the restaurant for dinner.

The location

The resort is almost inside Mudumalai forest and you get to experience the jungle up close. Service is personal & good. Food is clean & home cooked.

Good property and good variety of food for the money we paid. I was reading previous review of fod being costly and was thinkimg should i go for food or not.For the quality of food and options available it was excellent and worth the money paid. we also opted for bbq and campfire.

It was nice and good
